[0056] For a better understanding of the present application, various aspects of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely descriptions of embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0057] It should be noted that in this specification, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used solely to distinguish one feature from another and do not limit the features. Thus, the first lens discussed below could also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens without departing from the teachings of this application.

[0058] In the drawings, the thickness, size, and shape of the lenses are slightly exaggerated for ease of illustration. Specifically, the shapes of the spherical and aspherical surfaces shown in the drawings are provided by way of example. That is, the shapes of the spherical and aspherical surfaces are not limited to those shown in the drawings. The drawings are for illustration only and are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0059] In this article, the paraxial region refers to the area near the optical axis. If a lens surface is convex and the location of the convex surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region. If a lens surface is concave and the location of the concave surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the subject is called the object-side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging plane is called the image-side surface of the lens.

[0060] It should also be understood that the terms "comprises," "including," "having," "includes," and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. In addition, when expressions such as "at least one of..." appear after a list of listed features, they modify the entire list of features rather than modifying the individual elements in the list. In addition, when describing embodiments of the present application, "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of the present application." And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined as such herein.

[0062] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0063] The optical lens according to the embodiment of the present application includes, in order from the object side to the image side along the optical axis: a first lens, a second lens, an aperture, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a filter.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first lens element may have negative power to reduce the angle of incident light, effectively sharing the large object-side field of view. The first lens element has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, which helps collect as much light from the edge of the field of view as possible and feed it into the rear optical element, achieving wide-angle light collection.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second lens element can have positive optical power, which helps converge light while reducing light deflection angles and ensuring a smooth transition. Both the object and image side surfaces of the second lens element are convex, balancing various aberrations produced by the optical lens and improving imaging quality.

[0066] In some embodiments, the third lens may have a positive focal power, which is beneficial to further converge light while reducing the light deflection angle and enabling a smooth transition of the light path. The object side surface of the third lens is convex, and the image side surface is concave, which can reduce the impact of spherical aberration and astigmatism generated by the third lens itself on the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0067] In some embodiments, the fourth lens may have a negative focal power, and both its object side surface and image side surface are concave, which is beneficial to balance various aberrations generated by the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0068] In some embodiments, the fifth lens may have a positive focal power, which is beneficial to improve the light converging ability of the optical lens. Both its object side surface and image side surface are convex, which can reduce the spherical aberration and coma generated by the fifth lens itself and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0069] In some embodiments, the sixth lens may have a negative focal power, which is beneficial to increase the imaging area of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. The object side surface of the sixth lens is convex, and the image side surface is concave, which can optimize the chromatic aberration of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the curvature radius R6 of the image side surface of the third lens satisfy: R6 / f > 14.0. Meeting the above range, by adjusting the curvature radius of the image side surface of the third lens, the surface shape of the image side surface of the third lens can be appropriately adjusted, which can reduce the impact of spherical aberration and astigmatism generated by the third lens itself on the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0071] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R5 of the object side surface and the curvature radius R6 of the image side surface of the third lens satisfy: -1 < (R5 - R6) / (R5 + R6) < 0. Meeting the above range, by adjusting the curvature radii of the object side surface and the image side surface of the third lens, the deflection degree of light passing through the lens can be alleviated, which can reduce the impact of aberrations generated by the third lens on the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0072] In some embodiments, the sagittal height Sag6 of the image side surface and the clear aperture radius d6 of the image side surface of the third lens satisfy: -0.12 < Sag6 / d6 < 0. Meeting the above range, by adjusting the off-axis area surface shape of the image side surface of the third lens, various aberrations in the edge field of view of the optical lens can be effectively improved, and the imaging quality of the edge field of view of the optical lens can be improved.

[0073] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f satisfy: 3.0 < TTL / f < 5.5. Meeting the above range, it can effectively limit the length of the lens and achieve miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0074] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the maximum field angle FOV, and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle satisfy: 0.5 < (IH / 2) / (f×tan(FOV / 2)) < 0.75. Meeting the above range is beneficial for the optical lens to achieve a balance between the field angle size and the F-tanθ distortion size, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0075] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle satisfy: 1.5 < IH / f < 2.5. Meeting the above range is beneficial for the optical lens to achieve a balance between the field angle size and the F-tanθ distortion size, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0076] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: -1.7 < f1 / f < -1.0. Meeting the above range can make the first lens have a small negative optical power, which is beneficial for increasing the field angle of the optical lens. At the same time, the refraction angle change of the incident light is relatively gentle, avoiding excessive aberration caused by overly strong refraction changes, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0077] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: 1.0 < f2 / f < 2.0. Meeting the above range can make the second lens have an appropriate positive optical power, which is beneficial for the convergence of light rays, enabling the divergent light rays entering the system from the front to smoothly enter the rear optical system, making the light ray trend smoother, optimizing aberration, and improving resolution.

[0078] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 2.0 < f3 / f < 2.8. Meeting the above range can make the third lens have an appropriate positive optical power, and can reduce the influence of spherical aberration and astigmatism generated by the third lens itself on the optical lens, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0079] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: -1.5 < f4 / f < -1.0. Meeting the above range can make the fourth lens have an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial for balancing various aberrations generated by the optical lens, and improving the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0080] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: 0.8 < f5 / f < 1.2. Meeting the above range can make the fifth lens have an appropriate positive optical power, and can reduce the spherical aberration and coma generated by the fifth lens itself, and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0081] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: -2.5 < f6 / f < -1.3. Meeting the above range can endow the sixth lens with an appropriate negative optical power, which is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens. Meanwhile, it can optimize the chromatic aberration of the optical lens and improve the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0082] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens satisfies: 95° < FOV < 135°. Meeting the above range can enable the optical lens to have a large field of view.

[0083] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens and the f-number FNO satisfy: 40° < FOV / FNO < 65°. Meeting the above range is beneficial to expanding the field of view of the optical lens and increasing the aperture of the optical lens, which is conducive to the optical lens obtaining more scene information and meeting the requirements of large-range detection. The realization of the large-aperture characteristic is beneficial to improving the problem of rapid decline of the relative brightness in the edge field of view, and thus is also conducive to obtaining more scene information.

[0084] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view satisfy: 2.0 < TTL / IH < 2.5. Meeting the above range can effectively balance the requirements of the image height and miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0085] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD satisfy: 3.5 < IH / EPD < 5.0. Meeting the above range can increase the width of the light beam entering the optical lens, improve the brightness at the image plane of the optical lens, and avoid the generation of vignetting.

[0086] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view, and the clear aperture D1 of the object side surface of the first lens satisfy: 0.4 < D1 / IH / tan(FOV / 2) < 0.8. Meeting the above range can ensure the balance among the size of the optical lens, the field of view, and the image plane.

[0087] To enable the system to have better optical performance, multiple aspherical lenses are used in the lens. The shapes of the aspherical surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equation:

[0088]

[0088] where z is the distance between the curved surface and the vertex of the curved surface in the optical axis direction, h is the distance from the optical axis to the curved surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the curved surface, K is the conic coefficient, and A, B, C, D, E, and F are the surface coefficients of the second order, fourth order, sixth order, eighth order, tenth order, and twelfth order respectively.

[0089] The present application is further described below with reference to a number of embodiments. In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens vary. For details, please refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment. The following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present application, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited solely to the following embodiments.

[0102] Table 1-1

[0103] The surface parameters of the aspheric lens of the optical lens in Example 1 are shown in Table 1-2.

[0104] Table 1-2

[0105] In this embodiment, the field curvature curve, F-Tanθ distortion curve, MTF curve, relative illumination curve, axial aberration curve, and vertical chromatic aberration curve of the optical lens are shown in Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively.

[0106] Figure 2 shows the field curvature curves of Example 1, representing the degree of curvature of light of different wavelengths in the meridional and sagittal image planes. The horizontal axis represents the offset (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the half field angle (unit: degrees). As can be seen from the figure, the field curvature of the meridional and sagittal image planes is controlled within a range of -0.09mm to 0.1mm, demonstrating that the optical lens is capable of effectively correcting field curvature.

[0107] Figure 3 shows the F-Tanθ distortion curve for Example 1, which represents the F-Tanθ distortion of light of different wavelengths at different image heights on the imaging surface. The horizontal axis represents F-Tanθ distortion (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the F-Tanθ distortion of the optical lens is controlled within a range of -40% to 0%, and the image compression in the edge angle region is relatively smooth, effectively improving the clarity of the expanded image.

[0108] Figure 4 shows the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve of Example 1, which represents the degree of lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies across the field of view. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF value of this embodiment is above 0.5 across the entire field of view. Within the range of 0 to 160 lp / mm, the MTF curve decreases evenly and smoothly from the center to the edge of the field of view, demonstrating excellent imaging quality and detail resolution at both low and high frequencies.

[0109] Figure 5 shows the relative illumination curve of Example 1, which represents the relative illumination values ​​at different field angles on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the half field angle (unit: °), and the vertical axis represents the relative illumination (unit: %). As can be seen from the figure, the relative illumination value of the optical lens is still greater than 70% at the maximum half field angle, indicating that the optical lens has good relative illumination.

[0110] Figure 6 shows a graph of the axial aberration of Example 1, which shows the aberration on the optical axis at the imaging plane for each wavelength. The horizontal axis represents the axial aberration value (unit: μm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized pupil radius. As can be seen from the figure, the offset of the axial aberration is controlled within -30μm to 40μm, indicating that the optical lens can effectively correct axial aberration.

[0111] Figure 7 shows a graph of vertical chromatic aberration for Example 1, plotting the chromatic aberration of each wavelength relative to the central wavelength (0.55 μm) at different image heights on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the vertical chromatic aberration of each wavelength relative to the central wavelength (unit: μm), and the vertical axis represents the normalized field of view angle. As can be seen from the graph, the vertical chromatic aberration for both the longest and shortest wavelengths is controlled within a range of -2 μm to 8 μm, demonstrating that this optical lens is capable of excellently correcting chromatic aberration in the peripheral field of view and the secondary spectrum across the entire image plane.

[0112] Example 2

[0113] Please refer to Figure 8, which is a schematic structural diagram of the optical lens provided in Example 2 of the present application. Compared with Example 1, this embodiment is different mainly in optical parameters such as the curvature radius of each lens surface and the lens thickness.

[0115] Table 2-1

[0116] The surface parameters of the aspheric lens of the optical lens in Example 2 are shown in Table 2-2.

[0117] Table 2-2

[0118] In this embodiment, the field curvature curve, F-Tanθ distortion curve, MTF curve, relative illumination curve, axial aberration curve, and vertical chromatic aberration curve of the optical lens are shown in Figures 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively.

[0119] Figure 9 shows the field curvature curves for Example 2, representing the degree of curvature of light of different wavelengths in the meridional and sagittal image planes. The horizontal axis represents the offset (unit: mm), and the vertical axis represents the half field angle (unit: degrees). As can be seen from the figure, the field curvature of the meridional and sagittal image planes is controlled within a range of -0.09mm to 0.1mm, demonstrating that the optical lens is capable of effectively correcting field curvature.

[0120] Figure 10 shows the F-Tanθ distortion curve for Example 2, which represents the F-Tanθ distortion of light of different wavelengths at different image heights on the imaging surface. The horizontal axis represents F-Tanθ distortion (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the F-Tanθ distortion of the optical lens is controlled within a range of -30% to 0%, and the image compression in the edge angle area is relatively smooth, effectively improving the clarity of the expanded image.

[0121] Figure 11 shows the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve of Example 2, which represents the degree of lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies across the field of view. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. As can be seen from the figure, the MTF values ​​of this embodiment are consistently above 0.4 across the entire field of view.
